Chapter 142: 142, (It’s Just a Charisma of 9) (Requesting monthly tickets!)

Ping Shanhai was a cripple. Now, this crippled sword cultivator’s pupils dilated slightly, his heart overwhelmed with shock.

Because he was also a powerful swordsman, he understood exactly how impressive that elder’s sword strike just now was.

If the first sword could be said to barely match his own level, then the second indeed revealed his inferiority.

He now thought back to the elder’s sword strike just now. Even with the knowledge that the man would strike such a blow, he still had no idea how he would deal with it!

Thus, if there was another round, he would still lose.

The mute old man slowly set down his cane, then pointed at Ping Shanhai and held up a finger.

Then, he pointed at himself, and once more held up a finger, this time two. Ping Shanhai watched the old man’s actions. After pondering for a moment, he bowed deeply to him, bending nearly ninety degrees at the waist in respectful salute.

Seeing that he had understood, the mute old man slowly smiled, then turned and left.

He came with a small lamp, and he left with a small lamp.

It was as if he was just passing through.

His victory was as natural as you would expect.

Firstly, the gentleman doesn’t use a sword and Yan Li is still in profound seclusion.

Then on the Way of the Sword, he naturally is invincible.

At the Peak of the Demon Sect, Lu Xun sees Lin Chan still deep in thought, and he also “thinks” along.

After all, having watched another sword strike, being a “Natural Sword Embryo,” he should have gained some insight.

Also considering he is the master of another Natural Sword Embryo, he pretends to be profound, saying “Little Chan, did you feel anything?” Upon hearing this, Lin Chan looked up at Lu Xun, then nodded.

“Remember those two swords, they will benefit you for life. Your master has also gained much insight.” Lu Xun shamelessly said.

If you’re going to act, you might as well go all the way. If a man acts for a lifetime, then he is essentially living that kind of life.

As long as I act as a Natural Sword Embryo all my life, then I am undoubtedly a Natural Sword Embryo!

“Moreover, I am on the path towards a Swordsmanship Aptitude of 10, what if one day I really reach that level?” Lu Xun felt no guilt, this was just a preemptive consumption.

Yes, that’s it, just an advance spending of the title of Natural Sword Embryo!

It was not until he was chatting with Lin Chan that Lu Xun realized that this little mute was still holding a pot of hot porridge innocently.

She just held the porridge while watching the duel, and then… had some comprehension.

Since Lin Chan had cooked a large pot, he called Shen Yan and several other peak masters to sit down and began to drink the hot porridge without a hint of his upcoming Sword Ask match.

The high-ranking members of the Demon Sect sat in a circle, all drinking porridge without any stress.

They all had confidence in Lu Xun. And since Lu Xun himself was so relaxed, why should they be nervous?

“Sect leader, where should my Sword Ask match take place later?” Lu Xun asked.

After all, his cultivation base was still at the initial realm, and Ye Sui’an probably wouldn’t be much higher. Asking the two of them to fight while flying

would be too demanding.

Battles in the high skies are the exclusive domain of great cultivators. They should stick to the ground.

While Shen Ludan was slurping hot porridge, he said: “It’s up to you, young elder. Fighting on our Receiving Peak is not bad. Or… why not go to our main peak’s martial arts arena? We could even call in some Inner Sect Disciples to cheer for you.”

“That would be fighting on home turf! And even getting Inner Sect Disciples to act as spectators, shouting slogans to put psychological pressure on the opponent! For people with relatively low cultivation bases, this is definitely effective.” Lu Xun said to himself.

After all, a considerable number of Inner Sect Disciples in the Demon Sect had high cultivation bases. The pressure exerted by a row of them standing there was not a joke!

Cultivators and ordinary spectators are indeed not the same!

Shen Yan is really fit to be Sect Leader, his mind is so wicked!

“Let’s just do it on the Receiving Peak.” After thinking about it, Lu Xun decided not to go to the martial arts arena.

If he was determined to take the “idol route,” he should maintain the magnanimity of a positive energy male icon, and not tarnish his image!

These days, the reason entertainment circles’ celebrities are so keen on establishing a persona is because it’s incredibly effective at gaining fans, right?

Shen Yan slurped down the remaining hot porridge in his bowl unhindered while ladling a second helping for himself, remarking, “I might as well follow our junior elder’s lead.”

As he drank Lin Chan’s homemade hot porridge, he couldn’t help but feel envious, thinking: “I wish I could have such an exceptional disciple too!”

Hats off to a disciple who’s not just talented but also knowing and obedient and even remembers to cook supper for his master… It wasn’t just Shen Yan, even the other several peak masters heart had begun to sour.

Jeez, our junior elder really knows how to pick his disciples!

After finishing Lin Chan’s porridge, Shen Yan rasped in his shrill, crow-like voice at Lu Xun, “Elder, can we start the sword inquiry now, or do you need more rest?”

Lu Xun gestured, “Let’s get started.”

Shen Yan rose to his feet, with a wave of his large hand, the Demon Sect’s

Mountain Protection Array opened a small gap, saying, “Gentlemen, the Demon Sect is ready for the third round of the sword inquiry, all of you can come in now!”

Dozens of sword glimmers flickered as the disciples from One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain flew over on their swords.

It’s hard to deny, the two major sword sects certainly have a certain demeanor, even when stepping into someone else’s territory, their elite disciples didn’t show any sign of fear… at least, not on the surface.

Sword practitioners are the best at keeping their cool, that’s a consensus in the cultivation world.

As people vacated the central part of the Lead Peak, under Shen Yan’s guidance, Lu Xun and Ye Sui’an stepped forward.

The patrolling disciples of the Demon Sect’s Lead Peak couldn’t help but quietly take in Ye Sui’an, thinking: “This is the one often talked about, the innate sword body Ye Sui’an from One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain?”

“He’s really as handsome as they say in the stories.”

But honestly, as handsome as he is when put next to the junior elder, he seems to lack something.

Especially now, as they stood face-to-face, to the onlookers, it seemed that Lu Xun had the upper hand in every aspect.

Even the Disciples of One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain were lost:

“Who is this guy!?”

Though reluctant to admit, from outward appearance and temperament… how can there be someone so perfect?

This is unbelievable!

But a man with a charisma score of 10 is so good-looking it defies reason!

At this moment, as Lu Xun was observing Ye Sui’an, Ye Sui’an was also observing Lu Xun.

“So this is what Ye Sui’an looked like years ago, more naive than when I saw him in the game.” Lu Xun thought to himself.

Ye Sui’an happens to be the NPC with the most female fans in “Heavenly Dust”, his fans affectionately call him “Yaoyao”.

Why the name you might ask, it’s because his enlightenment is 9, his swordsmanship aptitude is 9, charisma… is also 9.

Three “9”s conjure associations to over-the-counter medication like “Triple 9 Stomach Savior”, “Triple 9 Cold and Flu” and so on. Basically, if it’s medicinal, it works.

At the same time, his face-fans repeatedly appraised his charming features, labeling him as a pill for the heart…

Gross!

As for Ye Sui’an looking at Lu Xun, for the first time in his life, he felt inferior in terms of physical appearance.

This is a complex feeling that’s hard to put into words. The man before him seems to possess a magical strength, making others feel hopelessly unattractive with just one glance!

Yue Heshan, who was in charge of hosting this round of sword inquiries, asked with a beaming smile: “This, I presume, is our dear nephew Ye Sui’an?”

Ye Sui’an nodded, then respectfully saluted in the direction of Shen Yan, Yue Heshan, and others.

Yue Heshan nodded, glanced at Lu Xun, and introduced, “This is our junior elder, junior elder of all the Demon Sect disciples, the disciple whom the master newly accepted last year, Lu Xun.”

Ye Sui’an took a glance at Lu Xun and immediately realized the difference in their respective standings.

A big difference!

Also, due to the master’s peculiar status in the cultivation world, ever since many years ago when he “discussed philosophy” with the leaders of the four righteous sects all by himself, even the leaders and elders of the four righteous sects had to observe junior status when meeting him.

And Lu Xun is the master’s disciple…

So by the rules, regardless of the outcome of the sword inquiry, he must salute to Lu Xun before the contest.
